Whenever questions arise about his doping, he wraps himself in the cloak of cancer fighter. In every interview I've seen in the past few years, this has been his approach.
"Lance, additional allegations have been brought against you concerning your use of performance enhancing drugs. Can you address these new concerns?"
"As a cancer survivor, there isn't much I can say, except to tell all those kids out there to keep fighting."
Right. Okay, Lance. He's full of shit.

Thing is, what's he going to do, tell the truth?
"Thanks Nike et al, but I don't want that $10M plus a year anymore, I think I will blow up my brand. Bye!"
That said, other than the cult of St. Lance, I don't think this is a big deal (the doping), although I know you won't agree, in that in cycling, unlike baseball for comparison, its an even playing field, i.e. they are all doping.
